Thanks for all the feedback. I totally believe in the power of the

mind to heal the body as well as Spirit/God/Universe whatever you

want to call it. I've healed very well from a cholecystectomy and a

DVT in the past so I know it can be done again....it's my sick mind

that gets stuck in food obsession that gets me bummed out....I hear

that from many on the lists, pre and post op, so I know I'm in the

right place. At this very moment, I'm not in the food obsession and

I haven't gone wacko on sugar....sugar seems to be the biggest

culprit in mood swings and generally feeling yucky for me...I'm not

much of a drinker, but I can imagine what a big bender feels like

based on what I've gone through with sugar.

My chiropractor started in on me the other day about how WLS is not

a walk in the park, etc....I wanted to say " no shit, Sherlock " but

the guy has really helped me and I don't want to insult him. He

doesn't know the hours and hours of research and meeting surgeons

and other WLSers I've done to get to this point.

I forget too that I am a whole person, not just my body....I think

many of us do that too, so I am concentrating on my emotional needs

as well and speaking up for myself...lately I've had a lot of 'crap'

come my way and I've had to do the assertive thing. I do think I'm

doing the right thing...that Fear thing sucks!!!

I'll check out the book. THanks for your support.
